	I've just been to the London launch, we were promised that 
	Ultrix 32m was available now.  On the other hand I came away
	with the impression that until the qda50 was available,
	forget it for multi-user applications.  (this wasn't what DEC
	were saying, rather what they were not saying).

	The configuration as a workstation with a small disk + ether 
	board would suit me at work, but I suspect there are cheaper
	(?Sun?) ways to the same end.

	As an aside I find "vaxes" hard to say, what about "vaxen"
	(it even sounds more like work-horse :-)
